Coquito Cupcakes with Coquito Whipped Cream Icing

If you enjoy Coquito, then you’re going to love these Coquito Cupcakes with homemade Coquito Whipped Cream Icing!

Coquito Cupcakes

If there’s one drink that just scream the holidays to me, it’s Coquito. Coquito is a Puerto Rican Coconut Nog that is traditionally made around the holidays . Think eggnog without the egg and plenty of delicious coconut flavor. Oh and plenty of rum. Although, I’ve been known to make a rum free version as well for the kids to enjoy as well. It’s tradition for me to make every year. A few years ago we were sitting around in my kitchen when I decided to get a little creative. I whipped up these Coquito Cupcakes on a whim and they were devoured in minutes. I don’t know what took me so long to get this recipe up on the blog but a few weeks ago I made some Coquito to kick off the holiday season and decided it was time I shared these Coquito Cupcakes with all of you!  [Read more…] about Coquito Cupcakes with Coquito Whipped Cream Icing

Take summer entertaining to a whole new level with this delicious Grilled Pineapple a la mode. Topped with Open Nature® Scandal-Less Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream #OpenNature #ad

Nothing screams summer to me more than backyard picnic, cookouts and fresh pineapple. I’m obsessed with fresh pineapple and love that during the warmer months, I can always find them in my local ACME Market. While fresh pineapple is great by itself, it’s even better when you throw it on the grill and pair it with Open Nature Scandal-Less Sea Salt Caramel light ice cream for a dessert that will have you feeling like you’re on a tropical island! This Grilled Pineapple a la Mode is just that dessert. The perfect summer treat and the star of your next barbecue. [Read more…] about Nothing Screams Summer like this Grilled Pineapple a la Mode

Toy Story Alien Popcorn Recipe

Celebrate the opening of Toy Story Land at home with this easy to make Toy Story Alien popcorn recipe.

Toy Story Alien Popcorn Recipe

Toy Story Land is officially open and judging by the photos I’ve seen, it looks just as epic as I expected it to be. From the delicious food options at Woody’s Lunch Box to the rides, I cannot wait for our next trip to Disney World to experience Toy Story Land in person. I already love Toy Story Mania but I’m really looking forward to Slinky Dog Dash and the Alien Swirling Saucers. I mean, what’s not to love about those little green guys. While we wait (not-so-patiently) to experience it in person, we’ve been enjoying the Toy Story movies on repeat almost daily. To make those movie nights a little more fun, I whipped up this easy recipe for Toy Story Alien Popcorn inspired by Toy Story Land and the Alien Swiling Saucers ride.  [Read more…] about Toy Story Alien Popcorn Recipe
